I've got an '83 GS - I just got my hands on a mostly complete '85 GSL-SE interior.

Is there anything complicated about doing this swap? I want to use the GSL-SE dash and heater controls - I just need to grab everything under the dash right?

What about the heater core? Are they the same?

What about swapping to power windows? I have ugly-*** '79 door panels in my car right now and I'd really like to use the GSL-SE door panels.

 

Do you have the SE the whole car?

 

everything swaps over, but i think i mean it when i say everything

 

u need all the wiring as well i mena everything front to back including engine from and 84-85 easy swap should take a weekend if u label all the wiring when removing it from the donor car

 

no, I don't have the whole -SE I wish I did!
I'm just getting the interior. imagine that it's at a junkyard. So I'm pulling the dash and etc but I don't get the ecu or anything.

 

it will not work with out all the wiring for the whole car
"will not work"
swap all the wiring over to if u want the s3 dash otherwise stick with the s2

 

ok, wow
all the wiring for the WHOLE car meaning what?
obviously there isn't much wiring regarding the engine, I just need the s3 logicon and gauges to work..
right now none of my s2 gauges work except the coolant temp and oil pressure - but that's ok since they are the only important ones anyways.

 

1 word. Ouch. Plan for it to take at least a month, just so if you finish in 3 weeks you can feel good about yourself.

 

i did this in 2 full days

 

2 of my friend's swap interiors all the time.. it doesn't seem like they have a hard time doing so either. good luck!
